<img alt="Tickets at Amoeba" src="http://www.amoeba.com/admin/uploads/blog/Amoebite/tickets.jpg" style="width: 200px; height: 154px; margin: 5px; float: left;" />Amoeba Hollywood has started regularly selling tickets to local shows, with the added bonus of charging low service fees (if you&#39;re into saving money and who isn&#39;t really?).<br />
<br />
All tickets can be purchased at the registers <em>(while supplies last)</em> for a $2 service fee. We take cash and credit cards for all ticket sales.<br />
<br />
Please note that on the day of the show, we will stop selling tickets for that show at 5pm.<br />
<br />
If you have a question about whether we&#39;ve sold out of a specific show, please call the store at 323-245-6400.</p>

Mon, 10 Sep 2012 18:12:00 GMThttp://www.amoeba.com/rss-link/blog/2012/09/amoeba-music/tickets-on-sale-at-amoeba-hollywood-in-september.html(In which Job wrestles with his subconscious mind and recommends an album.)<div align="justify">It&rsquo;s seven-thirty in the morning; I&rsquo;ve just rolled out of bed after a weird and ultimately unhelpful dream about being accidentally tossed off the Thunder Mountain Railroad ride at Disneyland, after which I ended up drenched in water and yelling at Timothy Dalton, who was working as a security guard, for not believing that their stupid ride malfunctioned and landed me in a private parking garage.<br />
<br />
Seriously. That&rsquo;s what I was dreaming. Is it any wonder I&rsquo;m awake an hour before normal? I mean, who needs that kind of crap? I am like, totally giving my subconscious mind the silent treatment today.<br />
<br />
Two things are helping salvage my mood. One is writing this to you, of course. The other is listening to Jobriath.<br />
<br />
<div align="center"><img width="451" height="230" src="http://www.amoeba.com/admin/uploads/blog/jobriath.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<br />
This dude&rsquo;s story is mostly tragic; one of the casualties of the music industry. He was glam at a time when glam had just started retiring. Bowie had already reinvented himself as a Zoot-suit wearing soul singer. Even so, Jobriath was promoted by Elektra Records as though his debut album would be more popular than The Beatles, and subsequently, God.<br />
<br />
His half-naked frame was plastered all over cities at a time when we weren&rsquo;t used to seeing such things. (I mean, nowadays it&rsquo;s like, &ldquo;Oh, a huge billboard of two, scantily-clad beefcakes frolicking in a pool together&hellip; in an advertisement for Toilet Duck.&rdquo;) Jobriath&rsquo;s first album was inescapable, and it hadn&rsquo;t even been released.<br />
<br />
So that, when it finally did hit the shelves, though it was critically acclaimed by many, it couldn&rsquo;t live up to the hype that had come before it. Jobriath was eventually abandoned by his management and lived the rest of his life out in relative obscurity; his major legacy being an example to record companies on how NOT to handle a new act.<br />
